The project equipped young women with the skills and
knowledge to turn innovative ideas into business
ventures
The StartHer Guba initiative, aimed at empowering young women
from Guba and nearby regions with the practical skills, knowledge,
and confidence to pursue entrepreneurship and develop innovative
business ideas, has concluded. The project was implemented by the
Public Union for the Promotion of Innovative Development with
Azercell’s support.
Twenty participants selected through a competitive application
process took part in a series of interactive workshops covering
entrepreneurship, business model development, and pitching skills.
Throughout the program, they worked with experienced trainers and
mentors to refine their ideas and gain practical insights into
building and presenting startup concepts. Participants who
successfully completed the program received certificates.
The initiative culminated with Hackathon, where participants
pitched their projects to an expert jury. The business ideas
addressed opportunities across a range of sectors, including
education, healthcare, tourism, agriculture, and real estate.
Following the presentations, three teams received financial
awards.
StartHer Guba is one of three initiatives selected under
Azercell's "Empowering Lives: Women's Support Program" social
project competition. Through the program, the company supports
initiatives that expand socio-economic opportunities for women.
